Chapter 1569 Change Strategy

Julia glanced at everyone and asked, "Did you forget Jerusalem? How to deal with the problem of Jerusalem?"

A minister said: "We have gathered almost all the empire troops in the Eastern Province, with nearly 1.5 million people! We can send a detachment south to support Jerusalem! Plus the security forces in the Cyprus Province and Crete should be enough!"

Many ministers agreed, but Prime Minister Thomas frowned.

Julia glanced at Thomas and asked, "Prime Minister, do you seem to have different opinions?"

Thomas frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should change our attitude towards Egypt and Jerusalem!"

Julia's heart moved and she signaled Thomas to continue speaking.

"Your Majesty. We have always tried to completely turn these two regions into provinces of our Roman Empire! If it were not for the powerful enemy of the Qin Empire, it would be just a matter of time! But due to the existence of the Qin Empire, it would be impossible for us to stabilize the situation in these two regions! According to the information we just received, Egypt seems to be ready to move again!~~"

Julia frowned and said with a headache: "Yes! This is indeed a big problem!"

"Your Majesty, we can follow the Qin people!~~"

Zhu Liya was stunned, "Imitate the Qin people?!"

"Your Majesty, look at the Qin people in Kushan, rest in peace and the Western Regions! He did not directly rule them, but allowed them to enjoy considerable independence as vassal states and protected states! In fact, the Qin Empire had irresistible dominance to them! Whenever the Qin army conquers, these countries must provide food, grass and supplies to the Qin Empire, and even direct military support! Of course, when the Qin Empire defeats, the Qin Empire will also give rewards according to the size of the other party's contribution! This practice makes the vast majority of the citizens of these countries willing to be dominated by the Qin people! In fact, our empire also has similar practices, such as the Bospru Kingdom, which is a good example, but unfortunately, this is just an exception!"

Julia nodded thinking and nodded. Minister of Finance Simon strongly opposed: "No, no! If this is done, wouldn't the nobles who own land in these two areas rebel?"

Julia said: "Simon said it also needs to be paid attention to! But this problem can be solved! I think the big aspects should be done as the Prime Minister said!"

"Your Majesty, how can this work?" Siman obviously couldn't accept such a thing.

Julia said: "There is a word in the Qin people's language, "I am willing to give up. Only by giving up first can we get it! Egypt and the Jerusalem region are indeed a heavy burden for the empire at present! It is better to give up! Of course, it is not really giving up, but changing direct control to indirect control! In this way, not only will we reduce the burden in all aspects, but we will also have two additional allied troops! The leaders of the Jerusalem rebels are not the original royal family of Jerusalem, and we can take advantage of this!~~" Turning his head to look at the intelligence minister Yushenko, "Yushenko, the royal family of Jerusalem is still in Rome now!"

Yushenko replied: "It's still in Rome! There are seventeen people in total, nine of whom are men, and eleven people with inheritance rights!"

Julia nodded with satisfaction, "Very good! Prime Minister, you are responsible for this matter personally! There is also Egyptian affairs!" "Yes! Your Majesty, what should the security forces assembled in the Cyprus and Crete provinces do?" The security forces in these two places were originally going to reinforce the Jerusalem area.

Julia thought for a moment, "Let these hundreds of thousands of troops accumulate in Cyprus and wait for their orders!" "Yes!"

"Okay! If there is nothing else, just step down!" "Yes!

At this time, a messenger rushed up in a hurry. Seeing this scene, Julia and a group of ministers subconsciously raised their hearts. There was too much bad news during this period, which made people afraid to see the appearance of these messengers, because this often means bad news.

"Your Majesty, the governors of the Lower Germanic provinces, Durancis provinces, Bill and Ka provinces have all sent urgent reports, and the English rebel naval forces are raging the border three times!" Then a letter of intelligence was submitted. Sure enough.

Everyone present changed their expressions. Julia took the information and read it angrily: "I actually forgot about this group of rebels!"

"Your Majesty, how is the situation in the north?" Prime Minister Thomas asked tightly.

Julia glanced at the letter in her hand and frowned and said, "It's very serious!~~" handed the information to Thomas. "More than a dozen fishing ports along the coast were hit by devastating blows! In addition, the city of Rothomagus was captured by rebels!"

Thomas looked at the information and said in surprise: "There are a large number of artillery in the rebels!?"

Juliya nodded and frowned and said, "It should have been obtained from the Qin people! How did they get it? Could it be transported over? If so, I will kill someone!" Juliya's face was covered with frost, and her beautiful face made people shudder.

Thomas analyzed: "It shouldn't be! From Qin to England, we are all under the control of our Roman Empire. It is possible to smuggle one or two pieces, but it is absolutely impossible to have such a large batch! It should have been made by them themselves!"

Julia calmed down and nodded, "You are right! The Qin people should just send technicians to help!" She turned her head and looked at the uneasy intelligence minister Youshenko, and said in a deep voice: "Why didn't your intelligence department even obtain such important intelligence?!"

Youshenke was shocked and quickly knelt down and apologized.

Julia said in a deep voice: "I will not pursue the matter for the time being! You must find out the specific situation in England in the shortest time, not only about artillery!" "Yes!"

Julia was silent for a moment and said with some concern: "At present, our military strength in the north only has one regular army, and the others are guards from the four northern provinces! I'm a little worried!"

Thomas said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much! Although Alayang is sinister, he is too cautious! He dare not carry out large-scale landing operations now, so as not to turn around to deal with him! Take a step back and say that even if Alayang takes risks, our 200,000 troops in the four northern provinces will be enough to defend for half a year! In addition, we can also let Scotland in the north cooperate with us!"

Julia's face cleared a little, nodded and said, "That's it! Let Khedira go to the north to take charge! He is not an opponent of the Qin army, but there should be no problem dealing with the rebels!" "Yes!"

In the north, the city of Rotomacus. Although it is early summer, the city of Rotomacus, located along the North Sea, is cold and windy. This city is one of the northernmost cities of the Roman Empire, with a population of only tens of thousands, and is a city that relies on fisheries.

"Sir, now all Julia's main forces have gone to deal with the Qin people! We might as well sweep across the northern provinces!" General Quaid said excitedly. The generals agreed, but Alayang, as the governor, seemed a little hesitant.

"Sir, what do you seem to be worried about?" Chief Arthur asked strangely.

Alayang glanced at the generals and asked in a deep voice: "Do you really think we have the strength to sweep the northern provinces?"

The generals exchanged a surprised look, and Arthur asked in confusion: "What do you mean by sir?"

Alayang stood up and walked out of the hall, "Although Julia's main force was restrained by the Qin people, the Qin people's current situation is not optimistic. In addition to Julia's army, there is also a large army of Ross! If we have to wait, wait for the best opportunity!"

The generals looked at each other and Arthur asked, "The best time that the lord said is ~~?"

Alayang frowned, "The Qin army won a great victory!"

The scene calmed down because everyone thought the possibility was very slim.

"Sir, what if the Qin army was defeated?" Arthur asked.
